Mother: Tasting the cupcakes. Do you like them?
Sister: Yeah! As delicious as always mom.
Little: How did you make them?
Mother: It’s a mixture of dried and forest fruits, some butter, some milk and other secret things.
Little: Really? We ought to do it more frequently.
Grandmother (m): She arrives running and frightened. Did you hear the news? There was another man possibly killed by a wolf.
Sister: For real? I think I saw it the other day I was walking. I felt if I were stalked. He was really big, with big eyes, big mouth and big ears. I think he was black.
Little: I also got a feeling to be stalked. I saw something, he was running through the forest but it seemed to be a man.
Father: He arrives. He is injured. Hello! How are doing? You are having a nice time together, aren’t you?
Grandmother: Sure! Look at you! She touches him … What happened to you? You are injured.
Father: I was in forest cutting down some trees and I got hurt. He answers nervously and thinks slowly his answer.
Grandmother: Did you feel anything? Did you meet anyone?
Father: No, I didn’t. Why?
Sister: That’s exactly where a man was killed.



Narrator: The little girl and her grandmother are at home wrapping the cupcakes’ order. The grandmother tells the girl that she has a special task. In the meantime, her sister is spying them.

Grandmother: My little child, go to the town. Deliver this order at Huston’ home.
The little: Sure granny. She leaves home. She walks towards the town but in her way, she meets her lover.
The little: She is amazed. Where are you going?
Boyfriend: I was looking for you. I was on my way to your house.
The little: Where were you last night?
Boyfriend: Why are you questioning me?
The little: She sees the knife he has in the pocket. She’s scared
Boyfriend: What? The knife? I used it to hunt. I saw some rabbits in the forest, I just wanted to hunt one of them. You know, I need money. Don’t you trust me?
The little: She looks at the floor. She runs away.

Sister: She got home. She started talking to her mother and her grandmother. She greets them mischievously. Mom! You have to know this.
Mother: Tell me. Is it about the wolf?
Sister: No, it’s not. I saw Christine in the forest. She was walking towards the town but she met Baptiste.
Mother: Whaaaaaaaaaat?!?! I can’t believe it. That’s not possible. She is my little girl. She can’t be with a man yet.
Grandmother: Shut up! She’s not a little girl anymore. She is a young girl. I know the man and his family. They have a reputation in the town. They are well-known.
Mother: Anyway. That’s not possible. I will talk to her.
Sister: She laughs. Yeah mom. Punish her!




Grandmother (P): There has been a few deaths last days. We need to kill someone soon.
Father: I know! People are suspecting about me. I’ve heard some people saying some characteristics about the killer. I also feel old and ill I think I can’t continue with this.
Grandmother: I have something that will reinforce your murderous instinct. This potion will give you the power again. You’ll be back in the field. She gives him the drink. He drinks it. He reacts sharply. She listens to the conversation.
